Description Harald Alvestrand 2013-07-17 11:31:30 UTC 
It is hard to define "left" and "right" for VideoFacingMode unambiguously without using a drawing.

Something like the following drawing (rendered in non-ASCII) needs to be inserted into the specification for clarity:


>                           \    /
>                            \  /
>                          environment
>
>       left                  user             right
>        / \                  / \               / \
>       /   \                /   \             /   \
>
>                              A
>                             +-+
>                             +-+

This has been added to camera-names-exp.svg figure in the images directory. We now need to add it into the spec.
